Hi!
FIrst of all, yes, I googled.
I have an RC car, controlled by Arduino (oh, don't ask why), with the Adafruit Motorshield on top.
By using simple code i made the car moving.
I need it to recieve the pushbuttons data, so it will move forward, backward, right and left.
Special for that (and for future education purposes) I got two XBee Series 2, with the Explorer (Regulated) and Explorer USB.
Right now I am having problems with direct input of XBee.
I want simply connect pushbuttons to DIO0-DIO3 of one XBee and have it as output on DIO0-DIO3 of another XBee.
After that I want to connect it to Arduino and make it move the wheels by the motorshield.
I was trying to follow many instructions, but, whatever I do, nothing works, so i stoped at that particular one:

At the and I am getting RSSI being ON on both XBee modules, and DOUT of reciever module.
However, test LED on the DIO0 does not flash.
This is my test circuit for XBees:
Please, any help, tip or guidance will be an asset.
ps.
I power up the circuit by AAA batteries. Could i have problems because of power lackage?

Re: XBee S2 for Remote Car on Arduino
Those arent' Adafruit breakouts, so I can't comment on the power requirements. The Digi forums should be able to assist you with the port-passing configuration: forums.digi.com/
